Microjoule
A microjoule (µJ) is a unit of energy equal to one millionth of a joule, used to measure small amounts of energy.
History/Origin
The microjoule was introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate the measurement of very small energy quantities, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microjoules are commonly used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify small energy transfers, signals, or reactions, often in research and technical applications.
Electron-Volt
An electron-volt (eV) is a unit of energy equal to the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by an electron when it is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt.
History/Origin
The electron-volt was introduced in the early 20th century as a convenient unit for expressing atomic and subatomic energies, especially in quantum physics and particle physics, replacing larger units like the joule for small-scale energies.
Current Use
The electron-volt is widely used in physics and chemistry to quantify energies at the atomic and subatomic levels, such as in spectroscopy, particle physics, and quantum mechanics, due to its convenience in expressing small energy values.
